Nothing about restrictions like you now see on iOS 11+.

You'll be delighted to know that in the years since xprivacy came out, iOS now lets you set a "only use location services while using the app" for each app. Applications have to be able to function with this restriction: https://www.macrumors.com/2017...
Moviepass can try to track my location before and after I'm using the app all it wants to -- it won't work. I don't care if they track it _while_ I'm using the app, of course, since that's how it works.
Absolutely amazing. Really shows you what continuing to support an older API can do. I wonder if there's some really old customer that started using Maps API v1 or something that still uses it, and that's why Google keeps it going?
Also, I think the T-Mobile G1 (called the HTC Dream outside the US) ran Android 1.0. I remember getting one, and using it, and about a month or so later getting the first Android 1.1 update.
Who's this "we?" You're not the target audience for this, nor ever will be. This is for the masses of people who gets their news on Facebook and spend 5+ hours a day there refreshing their feeds. Once they start getting blasted by ads for this thing, they'll start buying them up, especially since someone wearing a VR headset is a perfect captured audience for more ads.
That was the old plan, circa 1950. The new is just one page that says "Keep stalling them until they fall apart, even if it takes 500 years"
Protesters, attendees -- one doesn't exclude the other. Perhaps ol' Agent Orange was right after all and it *was* the most attended inauguration ever.

As if anyone reads the article any more, you're funny
Stalin, Saddam, the USA and Russia in 2000/2001 -- none of these had the type of data mining that even Assad has at his disposal today. They know the identity of every single person they let march out, will keep track of them, and will "take care" of them at a later date when the world is no longer watching.
Yeah.... this will be news when _Apple_ announces this. Until then this might just be Microsoft helping keep shareholders excited.
Sorry, Mr. Doctorow.

It's a trap!
Rarely has so much research been done to reveal so little of any actual worth. This is West Point funded -- I assume the government is behind this somewhere? Don't.... don't they already have access to Netflix data on the backend?
...how many more Mbps can I get? Hey, Comcast, are you listening? The quicker I surf, the more info you get, so how about ramping up those speeds.
"What I'm really looking for is Linux that works without constant under-the-hood tweaking (ala early Windows flavors, 3.1, 95/98)"
No such version of Linux exists that you can download. Such a system would require hardware that the OS was designed in tandem with (i.e., iOS or ChromeOS). Windows works as well as it does with most hardware because Windows is so pervasive in the world that hardware manufacturers design hardware to work specifically (or at least best) with it by default. Any version of Linux you can download does not have this advantage, and will require customizations to get it running "right." For every user on this page that says "X distro installed for me just fine" there are five people out there frantically googling answers right now because their sound or networking suddenly stopped working on their particular Linux install.
Though, I differ with your assumption that early Windows flavors needed no under-the-hood tweaking (I remember having nothing but problems with Windows 3.1/95, etc, back in the day).
